F# CSV Provider type mismatch

Question

I'm having an issue with the F# CSV Type provider and getting a type mismatch. I'm new to F#, so it very well could be a basic issue. I have put the file up on blob storage so you can replicate easier. https://analyzethis.blob.core.windows.net/voterinfo/WakeCountyVoterCSV note: you will need to change the providers file location to your download location to replicate exactly. You may be able to load dynamically from blob as well.

The error I get is:

Type mismatch: Expecting a seq< CsvProvider<...>.Row> -> int

but given a

seq< CsvProvider<...>.Row> -> unit

Type int does not match unit

code:

open FSharp.Data
type voterType = CsvProvider<"C:\\Users\\dacrook\\Documents\\vrdb\\VoterCSVData2.csv", AssumeMissingValues=true, MissingValues="">

[<EntryPoint>]
let main argv = 
    let voterData = voterType.Parse("C:\\Users\\dacrook\\Documents\\vrdb\\VoterCSVData2.csv")
    voterData.Rows |> Seq.iter(fun r -> printfn "%A" r)

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

main has an expected return type of int so your last line of code in the main function needs to be an int expression

open FSharp.Data
type voterType = CsvProvider<"C:\\Users\\dacrook\\Documents\\vrdb\\VoterCSVData2.csv",   AssumeMissingValues=true, MissingValues="">

[<EntryPoint>]
let main argv = 
    let voterData = voterType.Parse("C:\\Users\\dacrook\\Documents\\vrdb\\VoterCSVData2.csv")
    voterData.Rows |> Seq.iter(fun r -> printfn "%A" r)
    0  // <--- Add an int as the return value

F# CSV Provider type mismatch
